So, throw out the babies with the prudish bathwater is the best course

Agreed, but the issue here is actually his first wife. I am a bit skeptical of claims that female teachers take advantage of their younger male students. Nobody forces these guys to have an erection and have sex with an attractive young teacher. Conversely, there are many, many female students who grow up without a father figure. They can easily latch on to a male teacher as that. Then the mother freaks out that the teacher is "too close" to her daughter. The social problem is larger than just the teachers, who often are actually serving as salutary role models for such students.
